Display keywords on Results Page

Is it possible to show the keywords that were used in a search, on the results page? It would say something like this:

Your search using the keywords: apples, oranges, pears found these results:

.. then the results with the keywords in them.

If that is not possible, could the search box with the keywords in it, remain visible on the results page?

Thanks

you would need to store the search terms into session variables, then echo the session variable values on the page.


send a link to your search page so I can see how the search is configured and i can give some more specific code examples.

Thanks for the response Jason. The search page is nested in a single frame.
Main page is mpengoprojectsup.html
The search page by itself is FAQ_Search.php

This is the public access page. I also have the admin pages with more access to pages and editing, but I could apply the solution to that search page as well.

Thanks for your help..

there is only one for element, this is pretty easy.

add the following a line 1 of your results page:

<?php
@session_start();
if(isset($_GET['knowledgebase'])) {
$_SESSION['knowledgebase'] = $_GET['knowledgebase'];
}
?>

then add this code after the body to display the search term:

<?php echo(isset($_SESSION['knowledgebase'])?$_SESSION['knowledgebase']:""); ?>

Hi Jason.. Where on the results page do I actually paste this code (the 1st one) in the Code view window of Dreamweaver.. I tried line 1, but got syntax errors. Sorry, I don't have much coding experience.

it goes at line 1, you got syntax errors because I had an error in the code.

this line:

if(isset($_GET['knowledgebase']) {

should be:

if(isset($_GET['knowledgebase'])) {

Thanks Jason.. that worked. Is there a way that I could get those keywords to show just after 'Search Results" at the top of the page? (with a .. "You used the following keywords in your search" just before that line) I appreciate your quick response.. Thanks again..

yes, in design view, select where it says Search results, then go to code view, it will have the string "Search results highlighted, just after that string add:

<?php echo(isset($_SESSION['knowledgebase'])?" You Just Searched for ". $_SESSION['knowledgebase']."":""); ?>

Thanks Jason.. that worked perfectly. You have been a great help.. if your are ever in Toronto, drinks are on me!.. Thanks again,
Doug

you're welcome.
